Doug Williams, president of Buckner companies said: “With all the power work coming up including conventional, nuclear and wind, this size of crane is becoming more the norm. Our intention is that these four units are just the beginning. We anticipate adding more in due course. Our first units have already proven themselves on power projects, using full components of derrick ballast wagon and luffing jib. They are also the perfect crane for erecting the latest generation of taller, heavier wind turbines.”
